We Love it! Best purchase I have made in a long time! At first I thought it was a little too much to spend on a metal detector... This is in the middle range and very easy to use. I bought it as a family project, something we all could do. In the first 3 months of purchasing it we have found 3 diamond rings, 2 gold watches, a bracelet, gold necklace and several old and valuable coins that date back to as early as 1890. Also it's a great hobbie and money maker. Worth every cent!! Don't forget to get the headphones---a MUST!!!

I was looking for a simple yet elegant entertainment center and this one completely fits the bill. Though this is made of particle board this does not has the cheap look. It is very sturdy. The instructions that came with the box were very helpful. I could assemble the entire thing in around one and a half hours.

Highly recommended.

I looked at both the Sony and the Bush stand for my Sony KV-32FS100 Wega tv, and this was the better of the two units. This unit is 3 1/2 inches taller then the Sony, so it sits eye level when you are on the couch. It also means that there is more storage space in the cabinet. The price is also a few bucks less ($20 where I bought it) then the Sony. The Wega fits perfectly onto this stand, fitting right into the slot in the front molding. It looks like the TV and stand are one unit.

Highly recommended.

TigerDirect's shipping is a little exorbitant, but I can't otherwise complain about a fine product. I bought it hoping to reverse it to put both my CD changer and my Playstation 2 into the same input on my receiver, and it works just fine. I can't have both on at once, but wasn't planning to anyway. I'm sure it works fine splitting one input into two, but that's just not what I was looking for. This product is, however, and I'd happily pass it on to anybody looking for the same solution.

Most KVM switches do not support audio switching (in the modern multi-media world, this is an often over looked requirement for a desktop KVM) and cost much more than this Cables to Go unit. I spent over $20 more, in fact, for another KVM with audio that only got me a unit with a defective audio chip and slow help. This one costs less and works great. Pressing Scroll Lock twice and a up/down arrow switches between the two computers - I wish that only the Scroll Lock key was needed. Considering how much Windows likes to reboot and be consumed by I/O intensive processes as well as the cost of new Hyper Threading Extreme CPUs, two low-end computers with a KVM switch is a cheaper way to stay productive. At work, this type of configuration also permits separate networks for security (one computer for the financial network and another, say, for machines with Internet e-mail access); viral and other rogue network hacks cannot spread through a KVM switch (the perfect "air gap" firewall).

The picture on the main item's page is not what I received. The item is mislabeled.

Having been a trade show manager for a large electronics company, I saw that the technicians always wrapped their cables in a circle and tied them with velcro straps like above. Get some.

I have owned a set of these speakers for awhile now. Their tonal quality is fantastic, and they do a great deal with whatever power they are given. Mine are driven by a TXDV838 Onkyo reciever, and mated with the E-76c center channel and a pair of E706 rear speakers. The set is voice matched for the utmost clarity in Home theater. These fellas can pump out the sound on there own though. Put them in a two channel setup and you can get some pretty good thump going, just not quite the same as a stand alone sub though. All in all these speakers have done everything I expected and more. They are a great buy for mid price home theater or just a kick @ss stereo system.

I OWN A PAIR OF THESE SPEAKERS.THESE "BAD BOYS" WILL MEET AND EXCEEDS ANY OF YOUR HOME ENTERTAINMENT NEEDS.COUPLED WITH A GOOD RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER,THEIR PERFORMANCE IS OUTSTANDING.YOU CAN WATCH MOVIES OR LISTEN TO A CLEAN AND CLEAR MUSIC EVEN AT A VERY LOW VOLUME OR GET WILD AND TURN YOUR LIVING ROOM INTO A NIGHT CLUB,THESE SPEAKERS WILL HANDLE THE JOB.

I have been into surround sound for about 6 years now, my aging 5.1 Onkyo 939 Bose AM10 system which is still a great sounding solution. However, I thought I would give a media PC system with a projector a try. I purchased the Gigaworks system to support the sound combined with the Creative Audigy 7.1 card and I was not disappointed. The EX surround really excels in a large room giving clear separation of the surround sound channels. The newer movies like Master and Commander really take advantage of the 7.1 channels to move the sounds around the boat which you feel like you are in. The sound is a bit softer and more realistic than the Onkyo, more like the Yamaha sound that many love. The base is way too much (police would be at the door from neighbors complaining) at the normal setting but is easily set to a comfortable level with the wireless remote. I really enjoy listening to music on the system since the sound level can be set low, yet due to the many speakers around the room it can be easily and clearly heard. Throw in Norah Jones on DVD on the XGA projector and man! it is like you are really there watching the sweat run down her face and hearing every sound as clearly as if you are in the room; does not get better than this; like - save your money, no need to attend any more concerts!!! Even my wife (who is normally anti surround sound) loves the surround system projector combo and has given it her official "best thing you ever did" seal of approval.

Pros: Easy wiring setup (color coded), wireless remote, great sound, low cost compared to standard surround systems, plenty of power, low distortion at high volume settings, heat produced low compared to other systems.
Cons: The volume display shows 5 green led bars that do not give a good indication of the volume level. Wires included a bit short, you will need extensions for most rooms.

I also have the Logitech Z5300 5.1 speakers which are good for my gaming PC, but not really in the same category as the Gigaworks.
